PLOT,
DIPPOLITO'S EX-HUSBAND, SAYS HE
IS DISAPPOINTED WITH THE OUTCOME
OF THE TRIAL.
WE HAVE LIVE TEAM COVERAGE
TONIGHT.
WE START WITH ARI HAIT.
ARI?
ARI: DISAPPOINTED IS DEFINITELY
ONE OF THE WORDS HE TO DESCRIBE
THE MISTRIAL.
HE WANTS TO FIGURE OUT EXACTLY
HOW THIS HAPPENED.
MICHAEL DIPPOLITO TOOK A SEAT
BEFORE A GROUP OF REPORTERS AND
QUICKLY LAID OUT HIS REACTION.
>> I HAVE TO BE HONEST.
I'M REAL SURPRISED.
ARI: SURPRISED THAT HIS EX-WIFE,
DALIA DIPPOLITO, THE WOMAN
ACCUSED OF HIRING A HIT MAN TO
KILL HIM, WAS NOT CONVICTED THIS
MORNING.
INSTEAD, THE JURY WAS DEADLOCKED
THREE TO THREE, FORCING THE
JUDGE TO DECLARE A MISTRIAL.
DIPPOLITO SAYS HE THINKS THE
STATE COULD HAVE DONE MORE,
PRESENTED MORE EVIDENCE, OR AT
LEAST HAVE HIM, THE VICTIM,
TESTIFY.
>> I DON'T EVEN REALIZE IF THESE
JURORS REALIZED THEY WERE
TALKING ABOUT A PERSON SHE WAS
TRYING TO KILL.
THAT'S THE REALITY.
ARI: SITTING NEXT TO DIPPOLITO
IS LIZ PARKER, THE PROSECUTOR
WHO GOT A CONVICTION AGAINST
DALIA DIPPOLITO IN THE FIRST
TRIAL.
>> THE STATE DEFINITELY LOST
TODAY.
IT'S HARD TO SEE THIS HAPPEN.
IT'S HARD TO SEE MIKE GO THROUGH
THIS.
ARI: PARKER SAYS SHE ALSO FELT
THE STATE COULD HAVE INTRODUCED
MORE EVIDENCE, BUT SHE ALSO SAYS
IT'S A DIFFERENT WORLD TODAY
THAN IT WAS DURING THE FIRST
TRIAL, EVERY STEP THE POLICE
TAKE IS UNDER A MICROSCOPE.
>> NOW YOU HAVE POLICE
MISCONDUCT IS AT THE FOREFRONT.
IT'S WHAT IS NOW EVERY TRIAL
SEEMS TO BE ABOUT.
ARI: AND IT MAY BE WHAT DALIA
DIPPOLITO'S THIRD TRIAL WILL BE
ABOUT, ONE MICHAEL DIPPOLITO
SAYS HE'S NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO
, BUT UNDERSTANDS IS NECESSARY.
>> I'M TRYING TO MOVE PAST THIS.
IT'S JUST A LITTLE HARD WHEN YOU
HAVE TO DO THIS EVERY OTHER
YEAR.
ARI: DIPPOLITO WAS ASKED IF HE
THOUGHT THERE SHOULD BE A THIRD
TRIAL.
